It’s both. Think of it as a curried ketchup that works wonders on anything from bacon butties to BBQ’d chicken wings.
Blak Ember is based on a family recipe passed down through generations of New Zealand cooks. It’s a tribute to the past, bottled for the present.
66% tomato, brown sugar, onions, malt vinegar, and a blend of classic curry spices with habanero for heat.
Pop it in the fridge and enjoy within 6–8 weeks. But trust us — it’ll be gone long before then.
